What is Barnburner? That link leads to a twitter account with 0 posts in it :confused:

Barnburner is a podcast ran by Brad Shepard and a few other nobodies (the guy linked above and that H Jenkins guy) who claim they get all sorts of scoops, but end up being massively wrong and either deleting the scoop in question or getting mad on twitter. They also have huge grudges against certain Superstars for whatever reason, so they'll spread false rumors about them in hopes that it will sabotage their career.

Look at this guy get mad over people "not appreciating his work".

Io Shirai vs Zeuxis - Sloppy. Io has not been impressive at all this tournament even after getting a squash match to start. And might be a good idea to work on that moonsault so maybe she'll hit it correctly at some point. I can image the outrage is Brie Bella did moonsaults that bad.

This guy has been claiming in various comments sections on sites that Io Shirai is worse than Brie Bella.

...Well I guess considering his username it makes sense. Bryan Jericho.

(They're unintentionally right in a weird roundabout way though on the horror movies thing, for a long time and they still are often enough, horror movies were regarded as an amateur genre that a lot of assholes turned their noses up at, because if you had a camera and someone who could do some makeup or lighting, anyone could really make a minimalist horror movie and do well, it was an entryway into the business for people who didn't have tons of backing and money and that threatened your typical classist moneybags.)

I’m not a horror movie guy but aren’t like 95% of horror films still relatively low budget/direct to dvd or tv stuff? A buddy of mine who’s 20 works for Troma because it’s an easier way to get into the industry to this day apparently

Horror has always traditionally been a low-budget genre. There's the occasional A-level project like The Shining, and The Exorcist was a legitimate blockbuster, but historically, you don't have to spend a lot of money to make an effective horror flick, so why bother?

It's probably less pro-Saudi Arabia and more hardcore WWE fanboyism. Like there are people out there who think Vince is literally a genius that can do no wrong.

Some of it is from Saudi accounts but yeah as said above WWE apologists go to some crazy lengths to justify their decision to watch.

The best part of that idiot's tweet is that numerous people pointed out how he just took all reported shootings in Philly and claimed they were murders, when the real number was actually somewhere around 250-ish.

Though I am disappointed that nobody asked him how many of those murders were sanctioned by the state, in comparison to the one in question being ordered by the ruler of Saudi Arabia and carried out by KSA government thugs. But god forbid WWE not get to make a bunch of money. :rolleyes:

If there's one thing Twitter has proven to be good for, it's for allowing absolute idiots a platform where they can just run right out and own themselves, in public, for all perpetuity. With the really amazing thing being how so many of them do it *constantly*.

I think the people who get mad when something like Tesla and WWE are people really mired in a weird type of insecurity where they think any type of criticism levied at the things they like and enjoy is a criticism towards them, because they think so little of themselves that their hobbies and interests are their only sense of identity.

I realize this probably isn't necessarily news for those of you who see these dudes on Twitter all the time.
